What is geospatial metadata?
From Metadata in Plain Language, USGS, 2007http://geology.usgs.gov/tools/metadata//tools/doc/ctc/
WHAT does the data set describe?WHO produced the data set?WHY was the data set created?HOW was the data set created?HOW reliable are the data (caveats)?HOW can I get a copy of the data set?WHO wrote the metadata?

Why use metadata?
Data developers and distributers use metadata to
- avoid duplication of effort.
- reduce labor and time costs.
- share information, internally and externally.
- publicize their work.
- protect their investment through personnel changes.
- limit their liability.
Why use metadata?
Data consumers use metadata to
- better understand the data set that they have acquired.
- focus on data elements key to their efforts.
- discover data inside and outside of their organization.
- access geospatial data via web mapping services
The changing paradigm of geospatial data production and distribution
Centralized Distributed
A data set may be produced, stored and maintained by a single organization.
Local or regional organizations produce and store data that is accessible via services operated under national standards.
